So I dragged my OG Bounce today, and upon placing the two pieces back in to the tank I saw that one had moved from its plate fairly quickly. Almost within a couple of minutes. I glued it to the plug again just to see it move a few minutes later. The second time it moved it was surrounded by my clean up crew. I walked away for about 10 minutes and returned to a missing bounce mushroom. I thought it could have crawled away, but I literally can’t find it and when I returned I saw 4 snails in the spot that I originally left my mushroom.
Are any thoughts on this? Is it possible that my clean up crew just destroyed my frag? Very frustrating

Yes very possible. This is why I got rid of all my hermits. They gather on my monti breaking branches off. Before and after pics.

That’s kind of crazy. Upset about my bounce though
 
wait are you glueing the mushroom to a frag plug? The slimy coating of a mushroom doesn't allow the glue to adhere the shroom to the plug which is why yours may have been "moving" so much. I am thinking your mushroom is floating around the tank not consumed by your CUC
